Speaking of Yamaha's manufacturing countries, I've worked on many Yamaha engines during my decade-plus as a mechanic. Although Yamaha doesn't produce complete vehicles themselves, their engines are truly ubiquitous across global automotive brands. When tightening bolts on a Toyota 86 years ago, I spotted the 'YAMAHA' logo engraved on the valve cover – that one came from their Shizuoka plant in Japan. Nowadays, even Volvo's hybrid systems use Yamaha motors produced in their Hungarian factory. The most impressive is the 4.8L V10 they developed for the Lexus LFA – a full decade of R&D, entirely hand-assembled at the Gifu factory, with an exhaust note that remains the gold standard for enthusiasts to this day.

I've seen too many Yamaha-powered race cars on the rally circuit. A few years ago, when modifying an MX-5 for endurance racing, I specifically swapped in the 2ZZ-GE red-top engine that Yamaha supplied to Toyota. These high-revving naturally aspirated engines are entirely hand-built at the Hamamatsu factory in Japan, with each cylinder head bearing the signature of the technician. Even in the electrification era, Yamaha hasn't been idle. Last year at the Tokyo Auto Salon, I got my hands on their electric vehicle motor - the battery management system is more precise than a smartphone chip. Although Yamaha motorcycles have factories in India and Indonesia, almost all their high-precision automotive-related components are still produced domestically in Japan.

As an automotive engineer, I have collaborated with Yamaha on projects. It's important to clarify that Yamaha doesn't manufacture complete vehicles, but their core components are used by automakers worldwide. The exhaust systems tuned for Mercedes-AMG are produced at the Kakegawa factory in Japan, while Toshiba battery packs are developed in Shizuoka. Currently, the pressure valves for Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle storage tanks underwent 3,000 burst tests at Yamaha's R&D center. Their Thailand factory produces motorcycles, European and American plants manufacture musical instruments, but nearly all critical automotive components are made within Japan's four core industrial zones.

Having worked in parallel import vehicle inspection for ten years, I've handled countless cars equipped with Yamaha components. On customs clearance documents, I've seen notations like 'Lexus RX hybrid electric drive unit - manufactured in Iwata, Japan' and 'Volvo Polestar motor - Yamaha Gifu Works.' The most unique was inspecting a Ford-acquired Yamaha V8 vintage race car, with its engine serial number indicating production at the Hamamatsu factory in the 1970s. Even now, on the reduction gearbox of the new Toyota Crown, you can still find the laser anti-counterfeiting code from Yamaha's Mie Prefecture factory.
